SPA LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
In order for your Hot Spring
®
spa to operate properly, and the internal plumbing to drain completely, the spa must be level.
WARNING: Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends that a structural engineer or contractor be consulted prior to placing the spa on
an elevated deck, or platform.
IMPORTANT: Watkins Manufacturing Corporation reserves the right to change any specifications or design without incurring any obligation.
Spa Leveling Preparation
Concrete sloped at 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) per 10 feet (305 cm) is preferred so that rain water and water spillover will run off and not puddle underneath
the spa (water under the spa for long periods of time may cause the wood to deteriorate). Other options are brick, stepping stone, or blocks.
It is important to note that soft surfaces, even when stepping stones are used to evenly distribute the weight of the spa, will have a tendency to
settle, thus resulting in an unleveled spa.
NOTE: Placing the spa on grass or dirt may increase the amount of debris which is inadvertently brought into the spa water and may cause harm
to your equipment as well as the spa surface, which is not covered under warranty.
